DDC Preparing For Israel Diamond Week

(IDEX Online News) – The Diamond Dealers Club (DDC), the largest diamond trade association in the United States, is preparing to welcome more than 150 exhibitors from Israel and hundreds of guests to its trading floor next week for the third edition of the Israel Diamond Week.

"DDC member exhibitors, and visitors, will fill the DDC’s aisles in one of the last big business and deal-making events for the industry before the holiday season," the DDC said in a statement.

“Israel Diamond Week is becoming one of our signature shows,” said DDC President Reuven Kaufman. “We already feel the excitement and energy from those who are visiting the DDC for the first time, as well as our 'regulars' – those who have experienced the show before, and are coming back to generate more business on our trading floor.”

In the last year, the DDC has presented diamond dealers, manufacturers and brokers with one-of-a-kind shows on its premises. The events offer participants new ways to forge relationships and interact with diamantaires from around the world and with those they might never have had the chance to meet otherwise, the DDC said.

“Our specialty shows, such as India Diamond Week, Antwerp Diamond Week, and the upcoming Israel Diamond Week, give the entire industry a boost," said Kaufman. "We see a trend in going back to the traditional practices, like face-to-face interactions and networking with reputable peers, and how this is crucial to business."
